Re: getting aliases in mutt (SOLVED)



Quoting Daniel de los Reyes (dadecal@s2-selling.com):

This is just a side effect of losing the functionality of being
able to edit your headers in the composing editor.

If you set edit_headers, then you don't get the early prompts but
go straight into your editor screen where you can fill in the
headers using whatever tools are available in your editor.

When you exit the composer, you go back to mutt's screen and here
you can type, say, "t" to change to To: field. NOW you get mutt's
alias/tab facility.

Cheers,
